Spring Grills

Even though the first blossoms of the season are still working their way through the soil, it’s not too early to fire up your barbecue for an all‑from‑the‑grill Easter (or any occasion) meal.
From appetizers to dessert, this hearty lunch has sizzle.

Grilled Grapefruit Spritz

Okay, so you don’t have to barbecue the grapefruit for this cocktail, but doing so brings out additional sweetness and it makes juicing the grapefruits really easy. 







Charred Romesco Flatbreads with
Shaved Asparagus Salad

Pizza topped with a fresh salad seems to be popping up on menus all over these days. So we thought, why not use this concept in a two‑for-one salad-meets-appetizer recipe?!

Grilled Bourbon-Glazed Ham with Chunky Pineapple & Shishito Peppers and Grilled Garlicky Smoked Gouda Potato Gratin

Although a popular main for festive occasions, ham doesn’t get the prestige that a roast turkey, beef or lamb does, yet it’s always a hit. For a more modern take, dress up this centrepiece main with a deliciously slick bourbon glaze and serve it alongside a savoury pineapple dish that will leave guests in awe, swearing never to return to the maraschino and clove–studded roasts of the past. Serve alongside a baked, roasted or grilled side dish, like our potato gratin, and you’ve got yourself a bona fide feast.






Easy Gelato-Stuffed Bomboloni

A bombolone is a stuffed Italian donut. Follow the lead of trendy cafés and frozen treat purveyors by stuffing these delicious pastries with scoops of store-bought gelato or ice cream. When you’re preparing a big festive menu for a crowd, it’s good to have an easy dessert up your sleeve so you can finish the evening by spending a little extra time with friends and family.
